Łucejko, Jeannette J.; McQueen, Caitlin M. A.; Sahlstedt, Malin; Modugno, Francesca; Colombini, Maria P.; Braovac, Susan (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)From the mid-1800s to the late 1960s, conservation by alum salts (KAl(SO4)2·12H2O—potassium aluminium sulphate), using various recipes, was a common method to prevent shrinkage and to strengthen waterlogged archaeological ...

Lucejko, Jeannette Jacqueline; de Lamotte, Anne; Andriulo, Fabrizio; Kutzke, Hartmut; Harding, Stephen Ernest; Phillips-Jones, Mary K; Modugno, Francesca; Slaghek, Ted M.; Gosselink, Richard J.A.; Braovac, Susan (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)This work is part of a larger study, which aims to use soda lignin from straw as the starting point for a non-aqueous consolidant for highly degraded archaeological wood from the Oseberg collection. This wood was treated ...

McQueen, Caitlin; Tamburini, Diego; Braovac, Susan (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Alum-treated wooden artefacts from the Oseberg collection display a great deal of morphological, structural and compositional inhomogeneity. Thus, an in-depth understanding of chemical processes underlying their degradation ...

McQueen, Caitlin; Tamburini, Diego; Braovac, Susan (Chapter / Bokkapittel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Wooden artefacts from the Oseberg collection contain various metal compounds arising from factors such as alum-treatment, the use of metal joiners and storage in metal tanks. Such compounds can significantly influence the ...

McQueen, Caitlin; Tamburini, Diego; Łucejko, Jeannette Jacqueline; Braovac, Susan; Gambineri, Francesca; Modugno, Francesca; Colombini, Maria Perla; Kutzke, Hartmut (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion, 2017)The Oseberg collection includes the most complete ensemble of wooden remains from the Viking Age. However, since many of the wooden objects were treated with alum in the early 1900s, they now suffer from dramatic conservation ...

McQueen, Caitlin M A; Mortensen, Martin N; Caruso, Francesco; Mantellato, Sara; Braovac, Susan (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Oxygen consumption measurement was used to study potential oxidative degradation reactions occurring in wooden artefacts from the Viking age Oseberg collection in Norway. Model samples of fresh birch were impregnated with ...

Lucejko, Jeannette J.; La Nasa, Jacopo; McQueen, Caitlin; Braovac, Susan; Colombini, Maria Perla; Modugno, Francesca (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)The Viking Age wooden artefacts recovered in the early 1900s from the Oseberg mound (Norway) and treated with alum, are today highly degraded. This is due to the effects of the alum-treatment and the reactivity of alum and ...

McHale, Emily; Steindal, Calin Constantin; Braovac, Susan; Kutzke, Hartmut; Benneche, Tore; Harding, Stephen E.; Gillis, Richard; Adams, Gary (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion, 2016)The development of new materials for the consolidation of waterlogged archaeological wood from sustainable sources is an important area of research, as the most widely used consolidant today is petroleum based. Ideally a ...

McQueen, Caitlin M A; Steindal, Calin C; Narygina, Olga; Braovac, Susan (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Alum-treated wooden artefacts suffer from extreme deterioration, and the stability of these objects and the salts they contain to variations in climate conditions is an important issue. Responses of potassium alum ...
